Cons

-If you're coming from a smaller, leaner company, getting used the bureaucracy and red tape can be frustrating.

-Although other offices may be different, the Chicago offices aren't high energy workplaces (at the time of this writing). Things are changing though; recruiting has been stepped up, and new waves of employees are being hired.
